Bread & Roses Trailer and Poster Debut

Today, Apple Original Films unveiled the trailer and poster for Bread & Roses, a powerful new documentary offering a window into the seismic impact that the fall of Kabul to the Taliban in 2021 had on women’s rights and livelihoods. Bread & Roses will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on November 22, 2024.

The documentary film follows three women in real-time as they fight to recover their autonomy. Director Sahra Mani captures the spirit and resilience of Afghan women through a raw depiction of their harrowing plight.

Bread & Roses, an Eyan Foundation presentation in association with Extracurricular, is produced by Jennifer Lawrence and Justine Ciarrocchi with Mani, alongside executive producers Malala Yousafzai and Farhad Khosravi. The documentary was a Cannes Film Festival selection and Cannes Golden Eye nominee.

“Closing girls’ schools in Afghanistan is not just a matter of feminist concern; rather, it is a matter of international security,” said director and producer Sahra Mani previously.

“The Taliban recognizes that the children of educated mothers are difficult to indoctrinate and are less susceptible to becoming their future soldiers. Ensuring that girls’ schools remain open in Afghanistan is crucial for the preservation and safety of our entire world.”

Bread & Roses joins the award-winning slate of Apple Original documentary films, including Academy Award winner Davis Guggenheim’s STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie, the Emmy Award-nominated Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, a uniquely raw and intimate documentary spanning her six-year journey into a new light, and more.
